Clean

You don't get anything clean without getting something else dirty.

When Mildred picked up the laundry from Mr. Green, she liked to make small talk. Of course, she did the same with the grocery, the mail carrier, and anyone else she might encounter. Mildred was that kind of lady.

"Good morning, Mr. Green," she greeted, a little too loudly - as always.

"Good morning, Mrs. Donald," he said stoically.

"Are you having fun today?" she asked.

"Loads," he said without smiling. Mr. Green was a dry cleaner.
